Pros: No Cons!
Cons: No Cons!

On a chilly Friday evening my wife and I headed out to Boston Pizza. We arrived there at around 5:15-5:20. The parking lot was busy but not full. We parked and casually walked into the restaurant. At the front door was several servers and one whisked us away immediately to be seated. Its nice to not have to wait for the server to review a seating chart to figure out where to place each group.

Promptly after being seated we received our menu’s and ordered water right away. When the water returned we were asked if we were ready to order. We replied not yet and the waitress asked if we would like to order an appetizer. We did order the calamari. Very soon there after the calamari arrived at which time we placed our order for the main course. I ordered the Mama Meata Penne with a starter Caesar with Mozza and bacon added.

The calamari was deep fried to perfection. Light crispy golden brown and still tender to bite. When it was gone there was just a feeling that there should be more because it was so good. The Caesar salad was also a delight. I know… a salad being a delight is just not right! This was perhaps the best Caesar I have ever had in a restaurant. They used just the right amount of dressing and topped it with real bacon chunks, not that simulated stuff that you shake out of a can. Two for two, I was looking forward to the main course now. Only about a minute after the salad was gone the main course arrived. For my self it was a large bowl of Mama Meata Penne with 2 large garlic breads one on each side. The first thing you should notice is that the topping are there… not hidden beneath the pasta because they are tiny and almost non existent. This pasta was loaded with Spicy sausage, quarter chunk of meat balls, and oh yes my favourite, pepperonis. Half way though this delicious meal I was stuffed but I could not stop eating. Now that’s a true sign that something was just right.

Not long after finishing the meal our waitress was back to take our plates and bring the check. She promptly took payment and we went on our way.

I must say that the service provided by Mandy V. was absolutely outstanding. I am sure this girl deserves a raise. She was courteous, polite, attentive, and fast. She definitely went above and beyond. Water glasses were kept full, she checked in with each course to make sure everything was good and she was fast and efficient. Great job Mandy.

The atmosphere was typical of that found in every Boston Pizza. Are you surprised? What makes this one stand out are that the place was very clean, the background music was not so loud as to force patrons to talk over it to hear each other and over all it was just a comfortable feel.

This Boston Pizza earns a 5/5 from me at http://www.CanadaFoodCritic.com. Try you local Boston Pizza and swing by the site to write your review. SR
